    I have a 69.5 Maverick.

    If I have a spoiler from a Grabber and I want to put it on my maverick, what do I need?

    Ideally should try to find a Grabber trunk lid? Is the Maverick trunk lid the same as the grabber trunk lid except for the spoiler holes?

    I read somewhere someone was looking for Grabber extensions, what are they and is this something I would need?

    I have made up a "jig" that perfectly marks where the holes go in the trunk lid. This can sometimes be difficult. I can do one of two things:

    1. Pay for the shipping and I will send it to you and you can send it back to me when finished.

    2. If you are close to Indiana, drive to my house and I will mark the hole locations for you.

    If you want to save your original trunk lid....I can sell you a trunk lid with the holes already in it.

    Let me know if I can help.

    For parts you will need. The spoiler, two quarter panel extention(that match the spoiler), small bumpers,4 of the special "U" shaped washers that mount under the trunk lid and onto the studs on the spoiler(Very hard to find), and the 4 nuts to hold the spoiler on. Like Craig said, you can drill holes in your trunk lid for the spoiler. The spoilers only fit 2 door cars. BE VERY CAREFULL tighting down the spoiler. I over did it with mine and cracked the spoiler. :mad: Hope this helps Russ

    You might want to post an ad to the parts wanted section. Also, this thread is almost 11 years old.

    I feel your pain with the "After Market" center section. I called the company and sent them many pictures of how it is supposed to be made.
    They've sold it for many years, and they have a good mold, but (apparently) there is no-one left at the company who knows what the finished product is supposed to look like. :mad:
    I got my money back.
